Hi, I have a customer who cannot access his root account. &nbsp;I know he'll probably have to boot from CD and mount his filesystem but I'm not sure of the exact sequence of steps req'd for a SCO OS system.<br />

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
